Jeremiah 33:26

Then will I cast away the seed of Jacob, and David my servant, so that I will not take any of his seed to be rulers over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: for I will cause their captivity to return, and have mercy on them. THE SEED OF ... ISAAC - (; ; , "Israel ... the house of Isaac"). Remarks: (1) Jeremiah is directed by God to pray to Him for that which God himself has promised to grant, "Call upon me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which thou knowest not" (). The promises of God are not to do away with, but to encourage our prayers. (2) However unlikely the restoration of Israel, nat...

He mentions the _seed of Jacob _first, because it had been said to Abraham, _For thy seed, _and the same promise was repeated to Jacob. (Genesis 26:4; Genesis 28:14) He afterwards adds the _seed of David, _because an especial promise was afterwards given to David, (2 Samuel 7:12 :) _Then also the seed of David, _he says, _will I reject, that I should not take of his seed to rule over the seed of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob: _he now fitly joins together what might have seemed unconnected; for he says, that there would be always some of David’s posterity to rule over all the tribes. God, therefore, thus preserved his Church when he set a king over his Church; or a kingdom, as we have said, is inseparable from the safety of the people. He lastly adds, For I will restore their

14-26 To crown the blessings God has in store, here is a promise of the Messiah. He imparts righteousness to his church, for he is made of God to us righteousness; and believers are made the righteousness of God in him. Christ is our Lord God, our righteousness, our sanctification, and our redemption. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom. But in this world prosperity and adversity succeed each other, as light and darkness, day and night. The covenant of priesthood shall be secured. And all true believers are a holy priesthood, a royal priesthood, they offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God; themselves, in the first place, as living sacrifices. The promises of that covenant shall have full accomplishment in the gospel Israel. In Galatians 6:16, all that walk according to the gospel rule, are made to be the Israel of God, on whom shall be peace and mercy. Let us not despise the...

EXPOSITION A chapter of promises, having reference, first, to the people and kingdom in general (Jeremiah 33:4), and then to the royal and priestly offices in particular (Jeremiah 33:14). The first part is but the expansion of passages in the preceding prophecy, to which this chapter is attached by the opening verse. The remaining portion is less closely connected; it is occupied by promises of the perpetual duration of the house of David and of the Levites. It should be noticed by the student that there are difficulties connected with the authorship of Jeremiah 33:14, Jeremiah 33:26 (see below)....

THEN WILL I CAST AWAY THE SEED OF JACOB, AND DAVID MY SERVANT,.... R. Jonah thinks that Jacob is put instead of Aaron, because of the two families of David and Aaron before mentioned; but in this latter part of the chapter no mention is made of priests at all; and by the "seed" is meant one and the same, the spiritual seed of Christ, the antitypical David, and servant of the Lord; and which are no other than the seed of Jacob, over whom the Messiah reigns; or the spiritual Israel of God, whether Jews or Gentiles, and whom the Lord never casts away, so as to perish; but they shall all be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: Jeremiah 31:37; and even the seed of Jacob, and of David, who was of Jacob, in the line of Judah, shall not be in such sense rejected: [SO] THAT I WILL NOT TAKE [ANY] OF HIS SEED [TO BE] RULERS OVER THE SEED OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB;

Jeremiah 33:15. _In those days, and at that time, will I cause the Branch of righteousness to grow up unto David; and he shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land._ In the latter days, at the glorious appointed time, Jesus Christ will grow up like a Branch out of the stem of Jesse. The dynasty of David now seems like a tree cut down, whose stock is buried under the ground, but «the Branch of righteousness» shall appear in due time, and Jesus, the Son of David, «shall execute judgment and righteousness in the land.» Jeremiah 33:16. _In those days shall Judah be saved, and Jerusalem shall dwell safely: and this is the name wherewith they shall be called, The LORD our righteousness._ What a wonderful unity there is between Christ and his Church! She

CHAPTER 33 New Message of Restoration and Blessing _ 1. The call to pray and Jerusalem's overthrow (Jeremiah 33:1) _ 2. Future blessing and glory (Jeremiah 33:6) 3. The Branch of Righteousness; Jerusalem's new name (Jeremiah 33:15) 4. Jehovah's faithfulness (Jeremiah 33:19) Jeremiah 33:1. Jeremiah is still in prison, as we learn from the first verse. The siege of Jerusalem is on. Then the Lord said, “Call unto Me, and I will answer thee, and show thee great and mighty things, which th

JEREMIAH 33. PROMISES OF RESTORATION. There may be a Jeremianic nucleus in the first half of the chapter, but Jeremiah 33:14, being imitative, and omitted by LXX, is probably late. Yahweh the Restorer promises to reveal great and secret things (Isaiah 48:6). In spite of the present state of the city, which is surrounded by besiegers, Yahweh will restore it to health (Jeremiah 33:6, new flesh, Jeremiah 8:22), establish its prosperity (truth means firmness; _cf._ Jeremiah 14:13), renew its former estate ...

See introd. summary to the section. This portion of the ch. is clearly later than Jeremiah's time. The expression "Levitical priests" (see on Jeremiah 33:18) is not one which he uses elsewhere. Moreover, there is a considerable amount of repetition in the passage (cp. Jeremiah 33:14 with Jeremiah 29:10; Jeremiah 23:5 f., and Jeremiah 33:17 with Jeremiah 35:19, and...
